तथैव कर्मत्यागे कामना नास्ति धीमताम् ॥ १२ ॥

yathaiva karmakaraṇe kāmanā nāsti dhīmatām |
tathaiva karmatyāge kāmanā nāsti dhīmatām || 12 ||

As the wise have no desire of doing anything which is beyond their reach, so they never like to leave out anything which is useful, and presents itself before them.
